    My fifth day in Bhutan continued with another outstanding afternoon and evening in the capital city, Thimphu. Come along with me as I enjoy a massive, mouthwatering Bhutanese food dinner of over 15 spicy dishes after I do some sightseeing around Thimphu, Bhutan!
    My guide from MyBhutan, Tsheten, started at the National Memorial Chhorten, which was built in the memory of His Majesty the Third Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuk.
    The stupa is surrounded by green grounds and there are 10 prayer wheels to the left. Mostly elderly people come there to pray. The stupa is beautiful and has five golden spires on it. I could hear chanting inside as we walked in a circle around it.
    From there, we hopped back in the car and headed to a field where they practice archery. Here, they shoot at targets from 140 meters away using professional compound bows. There was a sharpshooter there who hit the target from that distance!
    Then, we headed over to the post office, where you can customize your own stamp and buy postcards. It costs 500 Nu/$6.67 USD to make your own stamp from any photo on your phone. The postcards cost 30 Nu/$0.40 USD each. For 40 Nu/$0.53, you can send the postcard anywhere in the world! I sent three: one to my wife and one each to my two daughters.
    Next, we headed to Coronation Park, which is home to a tall, gilded, standing Buddha made in the Thai style. It’s right next to the Wangchu River and stands on a golden lotus.
    Then, we headed to the downtown area. The buildings were mostly shops on the bottom floor, with restaurants, bars, and other businesses on the second floors. The third floors are mostly residential.
    Next, it was time for dinner at the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. They give you starters before the main meal, including suja (butter tea), ara, cucumber salad with cow cheese, veggie momos, pork feet, ezay, and puffed rice.
    I started with the suja with puffed rice in it. I liked this butter tea because it wasn’t so buttery, and I really enjoyed the puffed rice!
    Then, I went with the phenomenal veggie momos with spicy ezay, a sip of ara, and cucumber salad with the ezay. Then, I had the gelatinous, fatty, and bony pig feet with ezay. The alcohol helped temper the heat. The cucumber salad and cow cheese reminded me of a Greek dish with feta. I also loved the cabbage inside the momos.
    Next, we had some light mushroom broth, red rice, 9 grain salad, bitter buckwheat pancakes, mixed vegetables, ema dashti made with dried red chilies and cheese, dried pork, chicken, dried beef with radish, kewa dashti (potatoes with cheese), French beans, and chili salsa. I couldn’t wait to dive in!
    Tsheten made my plate for me. I tried the buckwheat pancake with some ezay in it. It was like a Bhutanese taco. It was so good and spicy and opened up my sinuses! It wasn’t that bitter. Then, I went for the radish, which was nice and spicy as well.
    The cauliflower in the mixed vegetables was good, as were the long beans. The chili salsa was great, and the ema dashti was made from bird’s eye chilies from India. The cheese melted throughout was so amazing!
    Then, I went for the kewa dashti, or potatoes with cheese. I tried it with the ezay on top. It was hot! Next was the chicken and buckwheat. The buckwheat was great! The dried beef was like a super dense beef jerky. But the ema dashti was the best! I also loved the fatty pork! What a meal! It was the best I’d had so far in Bhutan!

      But Bhutan hated people called Lhotshampas on their turf. Just look at the fates of those Lhotshampas who lived centuries on their land, still not gained Bhutanese citizenship, and banned from going northward.
      Not all of Bhutan is great, especially their treatment of Lhotshampas.

    Hi David
    I just wanted to tell you because you have asked around
    At the moment it really looks very bad for you as a US American
    I mean the EU has decided today that US citizens will be denied the entry to the EU
    I know Pence and Trump (for who you probably have voted for) says that the situation is improving and under control but the EU thinks otherwise
    I think Florida had 9,000 new cases yesterday. That’s quite scary to some people here
    I think the best thing for you that would bring you a lot of views is to do like a lot of other Travel CZcamsrs at the moment
    Get a van or a trailer and travel together with your whole family around the US
    Especially now in the times of "Black live matters" and before the presidential elections it would be very interesting to see that for your foreign audiences
